The Challenge
Automated Allergen Flagging
Ema Catering required a solution to automatically flag allergens in their food items during labelling. This would save time, reduce human errors, and ensure proper allergen identification on each product.
Ingredient Transparency
Beyond allergens, Ema Catering must accurately list all ingredients used in their food products. They need a labelling system that can quickly generate detailed ingredient lists, providing complete transparency to customers.
The Solution
Dill offers an indispensable solution tailored for businesses of any size and type, especially when it comes to PPDS and compliance with Natasha’s Law for pre-packaged food items.
With customisable and compliant templates, Dill ensures accurate labelling, with allergens prominently highlighted. Best before dates are automated based on product details, reducing manual work for the team.
